NRM writes "Without question, the Vita is the most powerful and most compelling piece of portable gaming hardware to date that relies not on the gimmick of added dimensions, or indeed price points of pence to draw in the crowds. Put simply, the Vita is a gamer's handheld through-and-through; boasting near console-quality graphics, a fantastic line-up of games both in present and future (we await LittleBigPlanet Vita with bated breath), stunning functionality and a whole load of promise..."
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
I agree with this article whole heartedly but I am disappointed at the display on darker pallets. The 'mura' (clouding, blotching, spots, stains) is still noticeable on my device on greys and subtle greens. Only when the software in use physically boosts the colours do the stains 'disappear' back again. I have about a 2.5 inch swirl (looks like a piece of rope) which is distracting almost all of the time I use my Vita.
I know people have reported different scales of issues with this problem but it just spoils what is a perfect handheld device. I'm debating whether to return it but I don't want to end up with one that's even worse. I love the colour depth of the OLED but I prefer the crisper finish of say my iPhone display.. and it doesn't have stains or distractions.
Strange, I haven't noticed anything similar with my Vita, I'll keep an eye out though for sure.
